Directions for Dec 18 WebEx Meeting (Do this before the meeting if possible)

1. Before the meeting please fill out and submit the Audience Analysis Survey located here. When you are finished come back here and continue.

2. View the "Intro to WebEx" recording below. You might want to review it just before signing on, if you have never done so before. All the info for signing on will be posted here on Wednesday the 18th at 7:00 p.m.

 

3. View the winning entries for the Connecticut Educators Computer Association (CECA) awards from 2007โ€”2013. Those are examples of award winning projects from the last few years. See if there are things there that spark your interest in a particular activity of project. At the end of the course you will be filling out an application on paper (but online submission is optional).

4. Identify a topic you will teach next semester and think of it as a 5-day unit. You will integrate technology into those lessons. You can use some of the CECA projects as idea sparkers. If you aren't teaching contact me ASAP (sponderb@ccsu.edu). If you have little technology in your class and your school, no matter, you can still bring technology into your classroom.


๐Ÿ˜” EDT program students: there will be no laptops until spring.
